Let's not kid ourselves here, imagine if Trump won and people on the left were tying up courts

Imagine if people who had banners reading "Black Lives Matter" were harassing election officials at their homes in the dead of night.

Imagine if antifa was marching on the places where votes were being tabulated... I don't think I need to continue, you already know it.

They would be called thugs and animals. It would be called intimidation. It would be called terrorism.

Greenwald was tweeting out shit about Democrats trying to get faithless electors to sway the 2016 election for Trump. They didn't even do it, just speculated about doing it. But these fucking people actually tried, in multiple states, in dozens of court filings. It's insane.

Can you imagine Republican outrage if Hillary Clinton had refused to concede and accused Trump of stealing the election and filed 40+ lawsuits to overturn the results? They would be in full rant 24 hours a day.

We know that Republicans are hypocrites and liars, but they do better messaging (even though it’s mostly lies) than Democrats. I read an article yesterday from The Nation that lays out how Republicans have used social media to control the narrative. Democrats need to get more digital in messaging.

with this election, Trump was pulling those puppet strings.

Maybe they should be checking the voting machines in Miami Dade for example ...
